KALAMAZOO--Western Michigan University students, faculty and
staff are invited to submit nominations by Wednesday, March 12,
for the 2007-08 Golden Bronco Awards, which honor WMU's Registered
Student Organizations as well as individual RSO members for significant
achievements or contributions.

A recognition celebration will be held Friday, April 4,
for this year's award winners and finalists and their invited
guests. As in past years, the event also will be the stage for
announcing which WMU students have been selected for inclusion
in the 2008 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges."

This year, four Golden Bronco Awards have been separated into
two categories, one for RSOs with more than 20 members and one
for RSOs with 20 or fewer members. Nominations may be submitted
in one or both of these categories for: Most Committed to Diversity,
Outstanding RSO for Community Involvement, RSO of the Year and
Web site of the Year.

In addition, nominations are being accepted for the following
overall awards: Advisor of the Year, Best New RSO, 5-Star RSO,
Outstanding Student for Community Involvement, Student Agency
of the Year and Student Leader of the Year.
